Why many Iphone apps aren't available internationally?

Why many Iphone apps are not available internationally? I live in Finland and I use of course Finnish Appstore. But I can't download many apps I'd really like to get (Metacritic's, GameSpot's and Eurogamer's Iphone applications for example).It seems that they are only available in US Appstore. Is there any way to get those to Finnish iDevice?

There are many more examples, I just named a few.

Like Android Playstore, Windows Marketplace, and Blackberry World, Apps will differ from region to region based on the contract the company has with the wireless carrier AND government in your local region…

complaints can be sent to your wireless carrier and elected/appointed official

Your fix--- root the iphone and get black market versions of those apps
